IR Remote Control with Lirc

[FizzyTea]

Hello,

I think your post is better then DRONE7s one. I think the line Wants=lircd.service in the service file should be in the [Unit] section.

It is not necessary to create second irexec.service. There is a file /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/irexec.service. You can modify it to start as a pi user.

Code:

sudo systemctl edit irexec

Code:

[Service]
User=pi
Group=pi

And the commands will be in the file /etc/lirc/irexec.lircrc. If you need use another command file edit it:

Code:

[Service]
User=pi
Group=pi
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/irexec /home/pi/.lircrc

That s it.

Thanks, I'll have a look at this.
